New Place But Similar Part 1

A/N Not much to talk about here so let's just get on with the story. A/N

Twilight and her friends all crashed into a pond after exiting the portal. It was a bit cold so they were shivering a bit. Twilight began to wonder if David got caught by Patch and her minions so they could torture him like the other fillies.

"Aww man! I wanted to keep that!" Pinkie whined as her green mohawk and tail began to dissipate in the water.

"THE PERM WASHED OUT! THE PERM ACTUALLY WASHED OUT!" Rarity said, overjoyed that the horrible green colour was finally washed away.

"Wait where's David? Dash, did you see him, you were the last one through!" Twilight asked in panic.

"Easy Twilight I'm pretty sure he just tripped on a rock and is hopping here right now" Rainbow Dash replied which earned him a glare from Twilight and Applejack again.

"*Annoyed Grunt* Look I'm sure he's coming through. He might even be-" Dash stopped when she, and the others, looked at the portal beginning to glow again.

The light was getting real intense until it disappeared from sight. Twilight began to panic, she thought that David didn't make it through in time and how she was horrible friend for leaving him. Suddenly they heard a noise coming from above their heads.

"CANNONBALL!" David shouted as he landed in the water with a big splash.

"*Spits water out of his mouth* WOOO, THAT WAS AN AWESOME DIVE!" David shouted as he got out of the pond.

"DAVID!" Twilight shouted as she jumped on David, which made him lose his balance and he fell into the pond again.

"*Rolling on the floor laughing* Oh sweet Celestia that was hilarious!" Dash said as she continued laughing.

"MY TURN!" Pinkie said as she jumped into the pond as well.

"Wow Twilight, you missed me so much that you were willing to get wet again?...are you having a crush on me?" David asked as Twilight blushed.

"Ummm..n-...no *Nervous Laugh*" Twilight replied as she continued to blush even more.

"Twilight, sometimes you're just bad at lying" David replied to Twilight, seeing right through that lie.

But before David continued, a voice in the room began to call out to them. It sounded like it was coming from a female.

"Hello" the voice cooed from the other side of the pond.

"Did you see one of our friends come through? She's a yellow-" David asked as the mare soon gave him his answer.

"Pegasus, I know. She's inside, drying off and trying to relax, poor thing. I'm not sure what exactly got her so wound up – well, I suppose appearing out of thin air and landing goodness-knows-where could have something to do with it" the purple mare replied.

"Especially if you could understand the situation we've been through" David said.

"Oh yes I mean you couldn't have just dropped into my pond without a reason David Reese" the purple mare said.

"*Surprised Face* Wait you know me?" David asked in shock.

"Of course David, I mean after what you did at Paradise Estates, who can't be famous after that event" the purple mare replied calmly.

"Is every pony universe somehow connected to-...oh my god...why was I so stupid before! You're Kimono!" David shouted, which surprised the girls.

"Why yes I am, besides you seem to know about a lot of places you been to before but could never remember until now" Kimono said.

"David, what are you and Kimono talking about?" Twilight asked in confusion.

"Well maybe we should settle this around a little tea. Or a lot of tea. Who knows?" Kimono replied with lilting laugh.

"Well Twilight, from her voice, she's a little older than us...either that or she's just more mature" David whispered to Twilight's ear.

"I'm Kimono in case some of you didn't hear before from David. No, no; don't tell me any of your names. Not until we clarify some things first" Kimono said as she motioned them to come around a table.

Fluttershy joined them as well even though she was still a little shaken from the past few minutes. She apologized to David and Twilight, which made David tell Fluttershy that he would have done the same thing if he was in her spot.

"Well...you really don't seem that surprised that we just appeared in your pond" Twilight started the conversation.

"What's even weirder is that you're not scared of a human even though those are considered barbaric" Twilight added.

"I suppose I'm just pretty open-minded about it. Weird things do happen around here most of the time. And to answer the question on me being scared by a human...well just look at this" Kimono replied as she gave David a book that looked like the book back in the Coltonville library.

"*Shocked Face*...Kimono...this is the same book as before...how did you even-" David was cut off as Kimono continued.

"Well you do have to keep a track of things overtime so I thought why not keep it in this book?" Kimono replied.

"So you're the one who wrote this book because I saw one that just looked like this" David asked about the book.

"Why yes I did make that and I had no idea my book would be that popular in the future" Kimono replied.

"Well technically it was in a section that got really dusty so maybe it hasn't been read alot at that time" David said about the book.

"Speakin' a' which, where are we?" Applejack asked.

"Why, you are on Ponyville" Kimono replied.

Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy all spitted out their drinks at Kimono, which was then followed by apologies.

"Am I correct in assuming that you, too, are from Ponyville?" Kimono asked to Twilight, which she nodded while gulping down the rest of the tea.

"Then it seems there is a genuine reason for me not to know your names" Kimono said.

"Why is that?" Rarity asked.

"As stated earlier by David with the book, there are a number of reasons. One – you might be in the past. Two – the future. Three – some alternate universe. In any circumstance, it would not be beneficial for you to meet your double. Theoretically, anyway" Kimono replied.

"There's that word again" Applejack huffed in annoyance, which gave David a chuckle.

"How're you so sure we're not from here?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I think this is where I come in girls. See in this book, it contains all of the history from Paradise Estates to Coltonville in the far future. So we appeared to have arrived in a different universe in which it's been a few weeks after the conflict with the pony tribes" David explained.

"How can you be so sure?" Twilight asked.

"Well have a look on this page" David replied as he flipped to page 104 which said:

After Megan was banished from Paradise Estates and the four heroes of justice left for their own land, the pony tribes could not agree on who should be the leader of all the ponies. 1 week down the line, many towns and cities were created such as Unicornia and Ponyville. 1 week after that, the pony leaders went to war with each other and many lives were lost over the course of 3 months. Finally in the end, the pony leaders decided to end it on a truce and to separate their tribes from each other so no horrible event like this ever occurred again.

Twilight and the group were just mortified by what they just read. They couldn't believe that their own race would ever go to war with each other and kill themselves over who was better. David just sat there, reading their expressions, knowing that his race was also like that and still doing it to this day.

"How do you know about portals?" Twilight asked Kimono after regaining her voice for what she just read.

"Why, there's one at the edge of town! Don't get excited – it doesn't lead to any other dimension. Just to a little nearby island full of pegasi. But I've been researching this portal, and I think I've come up with some pretty impressive ideas about portals in general. I never thought I'd actually use that information. How fortunate that you've landed at my door!" Kimono replied.

"Can you tell us what you've found?" Twilight prompted.

"Later. There will be plenty of time tomorrow. I can only imagine the kind of day you've had. You can all stay here, of course, and I'll make something to eat for you. In exchange, I'd love to know all about the adventures you've had!" Kimono said.

"Boy...you have no idea what we have been through" David simply replied to what Kimono said.

Please review so I can see what I need to approve on
